In what highlights the sorry state of medical infrastructure and doctors' lackadaisical approach towards their duty in Rajasthan, a shocking video has emerged showing surgeons squabbling among themselves during a critical operation.
Doctors at Jodhpur's Umaid Hospital, which is considered to be the best in the region, almost came to blows inside the operation theatre while a pregnant woman was being operated.
The video of the incident which took place on Tuesday (August 29) shows a gynaecologist and anaesthetic hurling abuses at each other right in the middle of an operation.
While gynaecologist Dr. Ashok Neniwal and anaesthetic Dr. ML Tak were busy in squabbling, the woman patient was lying on the operation table with her stomach cut open.
"You stay within your aukat (limits)," Dr Neniwal is heard shouting in the video.
The doctors were performing an emergency C-section on the women to remove the stillborn. However, the shameless doctors completely ignored the seriousness of the situation and went on with their arguments.
Both the doctors have been suspended.
The whole incident was recorded on a mobile phone despite there being restrictions on carrying phones inside the operation theatre as they are a known source of infection.
Jodhpur's Umaid Hospital had been in news in the past for a series of deaths of pregnant women. Over 15 women had died in February-March, 2011 after complications that arose during or after their deliveries at the hospital.
A probe had revealed that the women were administered spurious glucose.
